Book Description
Marxist aesthetic thought has dominated Chinese literary life for half a century, but little is known about how this distinctive Western school of thought came to be accepted. Paul G. Pickowicz fills in the gap, tracing the evolution of Chinese Marxist literary thought by focusing on Ch'u Ch'iu-pai, China's most important Marxist literary intellectual of the twenties and thirties. Ch'u and his contemporaries interpreted the writing of Marx, Engels, Plekhanov, Lafargue, Trotsky, Lenin, and Lunacharsky in ways that would answer important questions about the relationship between art and society, the moral obligations of the writer, the manner in which revolutionaries should perceive the literary treasures of the past, the impact of capitalism on artistic culture, and the nature of art in the socialist society of the future. Paul G. Pickowicz finds that Chinese writers responded to Marxism in a variety of ways. Some stressed voluntaristic themes, some emphasized deterministic elements, others, like Ch'u, attempted to synthesize conflicting strains. Moreover, the transition to Marxism did not constitute a radical break from the liberal traditions associated with the May Fourth literary revolution. Instead, leftist writers interpreted Marxism in ways that were compatible with their deeply ingrained May Fourth intellectual predispositions. Ch'u was the first to make a Marxist critique of the May Fourth generation of literary intellectuals and to analyze the failings of the leftist literary movement itself. His writings are of contemporary relevance for the issues he raised, such as the failure of leftist writers to place the revolutionary literary movement on a mass base. Ch'u's writings influenced the literary thought of Mao Tse-tung, and the issues Ch'u raised continue to be debated with emotion in China today. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1981.

Book Description
This is an open access book. This book is the first comprehensive and systematic study on the Chinese Marxist literary criticism as an independent theoretical form. It discusses and describes the theoretical features of the Chinese form of Marxist literary criticism by refining and re-interpreting the iconic key concepts of “people,” “nation,” “politics,” “praxis,” and the relationships between literature and high-tech, literature and capital. The value judgment of literary criticism has also been discussed at length, and insightful and valuable views have been provided. This book is a brilliant introduction and the ideal academic material for global readers to grasp the essence of Chinese Marxist literary thoughts.

Book Description
Marxism initiated a new era not only for people to fight for socialist future, but also for each discipline of sciences to witness profound changes. In such a context, literature, which has always been closely related to politics, will inevitably move toward a new direction. This book is composed of two parts. Part One studies the development of literary theories in contemporary China from a Marxist perspective. It introduces the basic ideas of Marxist literary theories as well as their spread and development in China, such as the combination of the theories and Chinese revolutionary literature. Moreover, it discusses the challenges facing Marxist literary theories in the 21st century under the background of diversification of literature and art, in terms of theory and practice, and high technologies which brought about electronic writing and digital communication of literary works. The second part elucidates the author’s insights into major issues concerning literary theories (e.g. the relationship between literature and people, literature and reality, perception and rationality in literary creation, etc.) This book will appeal to scholars and students of literary aesthetics and Chinese literary and cultural studies. People who are interested in history of contemporary Chinese literature will also benefit from this book.

Book Description
Each age has its value system of literary criticism whose construction is inseparable from the mainstream ideology of the society. In contemporary China, the mainstream ideology is inevitably Marxism. This book is composed of two parts. The first part studies literary criticism in contemporary China whose development is closely related to the popularization of Marxism and the unavoidable collisions between Marxism and other theories. It also introduces some relevant critical debates, such as the debate on the criticism of Yu Pingbo, a representative and one of the authoritative scholars studying The Dream of the Red Chamber. In the second part, the author expounds the history of Chinese literature from a macro-level perspective, involving works, genres, ideologies, schools, etc. He also discusses the challenges facing Chinese literature under the background of economic globalization. Will politics, cultures, including literature and arts, be globalized? In addition, the author puts forward that a dynamic concept is needed for a better understanding of Chinese culture and gives his suggestions about the "adjustments" Chinese people should make for the present. This book will attract scholars and students of literary criticism studies and Chinese literary studies. People who are interested in Chinese literature and thought will also benefit from this book.
